Association of Cephalosporin Resistance and Surgical Site Infections in Patients Undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Preoperative biliary drainage predisposes the bile to be contaminated with bacteria of the duodenum. These bacteria colonizing the bile are a potential source for surgical site infections after pancreaticoduodenectomy and many international guidelines recommend the use of cephalosporines as microbial prophylaxis before surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of bacteria in bile, their resistance profiles and association to surgical site infections in relation to timing of surgery after preoperative biliary drainage in order to better guide antibiotic use.

No PBD Patients without preoperative biliary drainage before pancreaticoduodenectomy |
|
PBD < 2 months Patients who had undergone preoperative biliary drainage and the pancreaticoduodenectomy was in 2 months after the drainage. |
Procedure: Preoperative biliary drainage
Preoperative biliary drainage before pancreaticoduodenectomy. Might be needed if the biliary tract in obstructed and the surgery cannot be scheduled in near future.
|
PBD ≥ 2 months Patients who had undergone preoperative biliary drainage and the pancreaticoduodenectomy was at 2 months or later after the drainage. |
Procedure: Preoperative biliary drainage
Preoperative biliary drainage before pancreaticoduodenectomy. Might be needed if the biliary tract in obstructed and the surgery cannot be scheduled in near future.
